Alicia and Emily - both uncommon when we were named, but super common now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-and-your-siblings-have-similar-type-names#post-141135 Sat, 28 Apr 2012 10:15:16 +0000 tequiero21 141135@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>His is biblical, mine isn't...

My third brother is Sean (not biblical--at least I don't think), but still a fairly traditional Irish name (he and Josh are twins).</p> <p>My stepmother went a little more off the map with her kids--Steven, Kirk and Amanda. I'm not sure why she liked Steven, but Kirk was named for the Captain, and Amanda was a character in a soap opera she loved while she was pregnant. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-and-your-siblings-have-similar-type-names#post-140978 Fri, 27 Apr 2012 23:35:25 +0000 His Barista 140978@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. Hers is a short simple one.

Not really similar though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-and-your-siblings-have-similar-type-names#post-140956 Fri, 27 Apr 2012 22:55:15 +0000 Maysprout 140956@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're all girls and none of our names end in a Y or can be shortened to a nickname that end in a Y (unless it's a unique nickname). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-and-your-siblings-have-similar-type-names#post-140915 Fri, 27 Apr 2012 21:40:08 +0000 Sweet T 140915@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We all have "different" names. They aren't names you hear all the time but they aren't off the wall either. My brother's name and my sister's name have gotten much more popular over the last 2-3 years though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-and-your-siblings-have-similar-type-names#post-140897 Fri, 27 Apr 2012 21:21:49 +0000 Meridian 140897@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our names rhyme, Charlene and Maylene (she was born in May!).

I'm the odd one out but I am also the only child my mom and dad had together. My stepmom gave my younger brother and sister family names that start with vowels. They go together really well. And my mom gave my younger brothers names that go together too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-and-your-siblings-have-similar-type-names#post-140442 Fri, 27 Apr 2012 13:54:38 +0000 aMohror 140442@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My name is WAY more popular than my sisters.

And my maiden name. We used to sign cards "The M&amp;Ms". Cause we're cool. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-and-your-siblings-have-similar-type-names#post-140377 Fri, 27 Apr 2012 12:59:16 +0000 Mrs. Blue 140377@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My brothers have very classic names. Then, my parents went off the whole freakin' radar with mine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-and-your-siblings-have-similar-type-names#post-140375 Fri, 27 Apr 2012 12:54:33 +0000 MaisyMay 140375@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our names are both fairly Southern, but other than that they aren't similar at all. Hubs' family on the other hand, I fit right in. My mom, me, his mom, him, and his sister all have rhyming middle names (Kay, May, Kaye, Jay, and Faye). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-and-your-siblings-have-similar-type-names#post-140374 Fri, 27 Apr 2012 12:53:44 +0000 MamaMoose 140374@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rubies: I loved Freakanomics. I think the chapter on names was actually my favorite one.</p> <p>My brother and I both have very classic older names that start with the letter C. But my brother's name is becoming super popular again now, and a variation of my name is quite popular now as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-and-your-siblings-have-similar-type-names#post-140372 Fri, 27 Apr 2012 12:51:16 +0000 mrsjyw 140372@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup, we both have korean names, and the first syllable is the same (phonetically) I t hink they mean different things in Chinese/Korean though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-and-your-siblings-have-similar-type-names#post-140229 Fri, 27 Apr 2012 10:59:07 +0000 Alivoo01 140229@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My brother and I have simple names. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-and-your-siblings-have-similar-type-names#post-140185 Fri, 27 Apr 2012 10:42:06 +0000 heffalump 140185@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My sisters name is a lot less popular than my brother and mine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-and-your-siblings-have-similar-type-names#post-140155 Fri, 27 Apr 2012 10:32:36 +0000 Honeybee 140155@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: Lol, yes :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-and-your-siblings-have-similar-type-names#post-140152 Fri, 27 Apr 2012 10:31:34 +0000 mediagirl 140152@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Honeybee: were they? :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-and-your-siblings-have-similar-type-names#post-140150 Fri, 27 Apr 2012 10:31:22 +0000 mediagirl 140150@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They're both names that could be nicknames from longer names. My mom hated nicknames so she decided to name us simple names so no one would call us anything other than our birth names. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-and-your-siblings-have-similar-type-names#post-140147 Fri, 27 Apr 2012 10:30:10 +0000 Honeybee 140147@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, we all have crunchy, nature names starting with the letter S; people always ask if my parents were hippies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-and-your-siblings-have-similar-type-names#post-140139 Fri, 27 Apr 2012 10:28:34 +0000 LuLu Mom 140139@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We all have the same ending sound. Well my older sister's nickname has that sounding and that's the only name she's ever gone by. They go well together I think! </p> <p>I always think of how names sound together! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-and-your-siblings-have-similar-type-names#post-140138 Fri, 27 Apr 2012 10:28:33 +0000 Running Elley 140138@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They're not really similar but they do "work" together...my sisters are Christina and Andrea and I'm Danielle. My little brother is Timothy (Timmy) but he's named after my dad so they didn't really consider our names when naming him. </p>
